   25: From Tissues to Popcorn: Nigerian Films Make Trauma Easier to Face (But Books Don't!)

   Hey Listeer! Nafisa here, your host on Novellisteer, the podcast for ambitious daughters of Nigeria carving their paths. This week, we're getting deep and diving into the world of trauma processing. You know how sometimes Nigerian films just hit differently, right? Like, you can watch a whole Nollywood movie about a heart-wrenching betrayal and walk away feeling lighter, even understood? But then you pick up a Nigerian novel about a similar theme, and suddenly you're curled up in bed with a box of tissues, questioning everything? Girl, same! In this episode, I'm going to be spilling the tea on why Nigerian films seem to be my trauma therapy session, while Nigerian books leave me feeling like I need a therapist myself.  Is it the vibrant visuals? The storytelling that feels like your auntie giving you side-eye advice? We're gonna explore it all, and I bet you'll find yourself nodding along and maybe even sharing your own experiences. Also, we all know life throws curveballs, right? But sometimes, those curveballs come wrapped in a hormonal package we affectionately (or not so affectionately) call PMS.  This year, your girl Nafisa bombed an interview – and yes, PMS might have played a part! So grab your headphones, sis, because this episode might just unlock a new way for you to navigate those tougher parts of life. Plus, who knows? Maybe you'll even have some recommendations for films or books that helped YOU process something difficult. Let's get this conversation started!

   24: A Honest Truth on Why I Disappear and The Silence

   Hi Listeer! It has been a long, hot, silent minute; I wish I didn't have a reason for ghosting you all, but I do—quite a lot of reasons. I am grateful for the message I received on Twitter asking where I had been. I want to make this as short as possible. I took a break to focus on my academics, thinking that if I did, I might be able to finish up on time. Unfortunately, I have bad news: I am still here. Oh, how can someone have been pursuing a postgraduate degree since 2019? See me see trouble! If it's not ASUU, it's COVID-19; if not COVID-19, it's the department; if not the department, it's the PG school. Throughout this journey, I keep blaming myself for deciding to study at a Nigerian university. Secondly, I got a well-paying 9 to 5 job in 2022, remotely though, and left it in 2023 with no plan. Honestly, I wasn't growing, seeing as the company was doubting whether they needed to keep my position or not. I could see the signs that my position would be cut off, so I left while my dignity was still intact. Thirdly, the inflation in Nigeria has finally gotten to me. I am sick, exhausted, poor, tired, and frustrated; I, who never thought of leaving the country, have started considering it. I am so scared because I don't even have anything going on at the moment. Moving on, I've decided, for the billionth time, to focus more on Novellisteer this year, which led me to make some decisions: Moving the hosting to a hosting company that accepts payment in Naira. Renewing the domain name because I want to build this. I am currently searching for a manufacturer in Abuja that can supply me with the high-quality material I need for the physical product we are starting. I am going to delegate someone to be in charge of repurposing our content. Still searching. I am building Novellisteer with this audience in mind: multipotentialite women, first daughters, multi-passionate women, and ambitious women. I am going to focus on Novellisteer's primary channels, which are: Blog, Podcast, & YouTube. Novellisteer is going to launch a free WhatsApp community and paid membership; I'm still working on a strategy for the membership, but you can join the free WhatsApp group if you fall among the Novellisteer audience here Being Novel Group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EF5jX4p3HlB5xoohbv9TZG Send your anonymous message to novellisteer@gmail.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/novellisteer/message
